How it works

REGISTER: Registration is $10 per person. (**Early bird registration is $5- deadline is posted on The Story tab). Our goal is for each walker to raise $200 through sponsorship (Fundraising is NOT required to participate in the event, however, these donations are what allow us to help more bereaved families). Sign up online today!

FORM A TEAM: Form a team with your family members, friends, & co-workers to walk in memory of a child you wish to honor or walk in support of families in our community. Purchase Rock & Walk t-shirts (Deadline for t-shirt order is posted on The Story tab) for your Team or make your own shirts to wear in honor of a child.

FUNDRAISE: Create your own personalized fundraising page with your story & why you are walking. Post your fundraising page on Facebook, Twitter, and email to your friends & family. Ask co-workers & friends to sponsor you to "walk" & "rock". Donations are all tax-deductible. Checks should be made to The TEARS Foundation. If you need help creating your page, contactadmin@thetearsfoundation.org or (253) 200-0944.

CORPORATE TEAMS: Get your company and employees involved by forming a corporate team. It’s a great way to give back and make an impact right here in our community.

REASONS TO ROCK & WALK: When you walk, you give hope and support to families in our community who have lost a baby. The money raised will lift a financial and emotional burden from newly bereaved parents by supporting programs through The TEARS Foundation right in your own community!

The Story

The TEARS Foundation is offering an exciting opportunity for the community to become involved with a growing and inspiring event. The TEARS Foundation's Rock & Walk is the signature fundraising event for TEARS. This annual event allows registered walkers to “walk” in honor of a child, or simply in support of others. Each team of walkers may also “rock” in the rocking chairs placed at the event site. Rocking chairs signify the heart of the walk, which is to raise funds for families who have lost a baby and are in need of funeral assistance and emotional support services.

The TEARS Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that compassionately assists newly bereaved families with their baby’s funeral expenses and with ongoing emotional support. The TEARS Foundation's Rock & Walk event is a time for our community to gather, to walk and to rock, and lift up the families in our local communities who have been affected by the loss of a child.

Thank you for helping us support bereaved families in Indiana.

REGISTRATION: Registration is $10, children 12 and under receive free admission. You may purchase a personalized Rock & Walk t-shirt by August 19, 2017. A limited amount of non personalized shirts may be available for purchase at the walk. You may also make your own team shirts.
